"These heritage projects will create jobs and help safeguard many key heritage sites," Ms Rhiannon said.  

"The $13.7 million for NSW is part of the $400m local green jobs package that the Greens senators successfully negotiated with the
federal government.

"It was put forward as a way to improve the $42 billion stimulus package.

"These job rich heritage projects will mean a lot to regional and
rural NSW as well as many Sydney communities," Ms Rhiannon said.
